Greetings Colleagues,

This DHHS Office of Acquisitions has issued a memo: Preparation for Potential COVID-19 Impact on Contract and Contractor Performance. It provides guidance to Federal Contracting Officers (not recipients, such as the UW) in response to COVID-19.

The memo highlights some of the flexibilities that contracting officers need to consider for DHHS contracts (as opposed to federal assistance funding such as grants).

Topics included:

  • Applicability
  • Roles and Responsibilities
  • Contracts Lending Themselves to Telework
  • Contracts Not Lending Themselves to Telework
  • Other Resources

Thank you,
Carol Rhodes
Director
Office of Sponsored Programs
